My GARDING Birthday Bash

Recently I have been thinking about what I want to do for my
birthday.I want it to be more than just
another birthday, my 33rd birthday. I want it to be a day that makes
a difference.I thought about ideas such
as the Red Nose Day and Bob Goff’s Book and Company Love Does, whose goal is to change a few lives for the better. A couple weeks ago I was inspired
by the documentary “CAN YOU DIG THIS?” not only for the literal effects of
planting a garden but also for the symbolic impact. During a solo drive home
from Portland, when I had hours of uninterrupted time to think, I came up with
the perfect idea…

As I celebrate my 33rd birthday, I would like to
invite you to celebrate with me.Those
who know me know that I love a good party, especially a birthday party…with a
THEME! Birthdays are a day to make someone feel special; I want to do just
that.I don’t want this July 18th
to be just another day, another birthday, another candle in the cake; I want it
to be more.I want this to be a day to
look forward to, a day to remember, a day in which several people feel special
and loved, a day that leaves a mark.So
let’s go GARDENING!

Can a simple act of planting a seed change lives? YES! Every
type of seed that is planted grows, and everyday you are given the opportunity
to grow where you are planted.To
change a community, a relationship, a family, you just need to change the
compost of the soil.

So for my Birthday I am throwing a Gardening Birthday Bash, and
invite you to plant a seed on July 18th.A seed of HOPE, seed of LOVE, seed of LAUGHTER,
seed of GENEROSITY, seed of THOUGHTFULNESS, seed of FAITH, seed of SERVICE,
seed of HOSPITALITY, seed of FORGIVENESS, seed of COMPASSION, etc.
